Vers. 26. Put me in remembrance: let us be judged together: count that thou mayst be justified.
Vers. 26. Put me in remembrance: let vs be iudged together: count that thou mayst be iustified.
Because it is an hard matter to correct mens pride,1 the Lord goes on still with this argument; and insists the longer upon it, that he might the better bring the Jews to humility, as also that he might cause them to renounce the confidence of their works. He gives them liberty freely to say and allege what they can in their own behalf, 2to make their party good against him: unless if upon better advice, they should rather think it best for them to lay their hand upon their mouth.
